摘要
Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (angiotensin I converting enzyme) was purified from human seminal plasma. The apparent relative molecular mass determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 was 330 0000. The ptI in isoelectric focusing was 4.6-5.0 and the optimum pH 7.7-8.0. The enzyme is activated by chloride. These properties are similar to those reported for the lung enzyme. The specificity is that of a carboxypeptidase releasing dipeptides. A study of different substrates showed the activity to be highest with Z-Leu-Gly-Gly, followed by Z-Phe-His-Leu > bradykinin > Bz-Gly-Gly-Gly > Boc-Phe-Ala-Pro > Bz-Gly-His-Leu > angiotensin I. © 1978.
